Interesting
and Fun Facts about Tony
Biography
(Excerpts
from Cafe Arabica and the All Movie Guide)
Shalhoub's
family is from Lebanon and the American Midwest. Tony and his nine brothers
and sisters were born and raised in Green
Bay,
Wisconsin. Their father emigrated from Lebanon to the U.S. as an orphan
at the age
of ten.
He later married Shalhoub's mother, a second-generation Lebanese-American,
and founded a family company from the seedling
of one
grocery store in the center of Green Bay. It was the American dream with
a
distinct
Arab flavor.
Tony
Shalhoub does not remember any Arab-Americans in Green Bay that he was
not related
to. His extended family worked
and relaxed
together. "[There was] a strong sense of socializing and people helping
each other out," Shalhoub said. His father dreamt that his ten children
would stay in that community and work in the family business "but it didn't
really take on," Shalhoub said
with
a tinge of regret. "Many of us didn't
want
to stay in that community. In some
ways
it would have been nice."
Before
the big city beckoned, Tony Shalhoub's brothers and sisters introduced
him to the theater. Tony was just six years old. One of
his elder
sisters volunteered her little brother to play an extra in a high school
production of "The King and I." Even though the young Tony was left standing
on the wrong side of the curtain during the final dress rehearsal, he became
hooked to the theater.
Since
that small musical production in Green Bay, Tony Shalhoub has consistently
worked
on his
skills and range as an actor. He
attended
the Yale Drama School and trained
for the
theater. Upon graduation, Shalhoub joined the American Repertory Theater
(ART) in Cambridge, MA. Shalhoub said that ART
was a
fantastic place to launch a serious
acting
career because of the flexibility and skills required from every cast member.
ART puts on two to three shows a week. After four seasons with ART, Shalhoub
moved to NYC where he met his wife, a fellow actress - Brooke Adams.
They
later had two children, Josie - who was adopted by Brooke earlier on and
Sophie.
Broadway
brought Shalhoub success not only
in his
career, but in his personal life as well:
he was
nominated for a Tony for his role in Conversations With My Father and he
met his future wife, actress Brooke Adams, while acting in The Heidi Chronicles.
It was not
long
after his Broadway success that Shalhoub made his feature debut, as a doctor
in the 1990 AIDS drama Longtime Companion.
Shalhoub's
film career has been a testament
to
his range and a compliment to his abilities. Though prone to comedy, his
dramatic roles have gained him just as much, if not more, recognition than
his comedic roles. Winning the Best Supporting Actor award from the National
Society of Film Critics for his well-researched role in Big Night (1996).
(ALONG
WITH SEVERAL OTHER MOVIES
LISTED
ON MY FILMOGRAPHY
PAGE).
He
would return to solid ground with his role as an obsessive-compulsive detective
in the well-received television pilot Monk (2002). Directed by Galaxy Quest
helmer Dean Parisot, the pilot for Monk successfully paved the way
for
the curiously innovative USA series to
follow
and found the actor warmly
re-embracing
the medium that had
propelled
him to stardom. Also, he's returning
to film
more episodes of Monk for the USA Network. His role in Against the
Ropes with
Meg Ryan
is soon to be coming out. And, if
his star
rises even more - there will be no
telling
where this talented star will next be
seen!

Cute
Quote from 'Meg's
Boyfriend of the Week':
"This
week, the Boyfriend is here for two reasons. First, it's the usual -- he's
cute, I
like
him, and I felt like telling the world about that. Second, he's got a new
show out, I like
it,
and I felt like telling the world that if it
gets
cancelled because you didn't watch it, I
will
be sending my assistant, Vito, out to
break
all your kneecaps. The USA Network is about to become your best friend
and savior, amigas. Repeat after me: Fridays at 10pm. Fridays at 10pm.
Fridays at 10pm."
Write
Up and Picture of
Tony in PEOPLE, Dec 2, 2002 - 'Surprisingly Sexy':
First
Impression: "My eyes are bloodshot with dark circles under
them," he says. "They make women want to take care of me."
The
X-factor: "Tony has great dimples and a wonderful smile,"
says Crystal Bernard, Shalhoub's costar on the 1990-97 NBC seris Wings.
And yes, she loves his eyes: "They're dark, soulful and direct."
Well-connected:
Shalhoub lives in L.A. with actress wife Brooke Adams, 53, and their two
daughters, ages 14 and 9. He's quick to admit his worst habit.
"I talk on the phone too much," he says. Adams, who met her husband
when both were on Broadway in The Heidi Chronicles, agrees.
"We'll be out together, finally, just the two of us. And he'll call
one of his brothers and talk for an hour."
Go-to
guy: "The sexiest thing about Tony is that I can rely on
him forever," says Adams. "And you know what? Now that he's
becoming kind of famous, he looks a lot cuter to me!"
